Holden Patrick will fight harder.

A powerful, handsome attorney, Holden left town after his adoptive parents’ death. In his time away he almost managed to forget the girl who ran away with his heart. At least until a turn of fate brought him back to Mantoloking, and back to Camryn.

But are they willing to fight for each other?

Faced with a tragic past that they both wanted to forget, they struggle to protect their hearts from being broken again. Will their love be enough to get them through another tragedy, or will they close themselves off and run away again?

Camryn is a beautiful mother of two, fighting to keep her life together in the face of tragedy. Camryn Hamilton is a survivor. Something traumatic happened to Camryn when she was young, something that made her pull away from everyone in her life, especially Holden. Cam’s life began to be defined as “before and after”. Before she was broken, she didn’t have a worry in the world and knew what it was like to feel true love. After she was broken, she put walls around her heart. She thought she found love again with Marcus, but the one thing she let herself realize was that although she always loved Marcus, he only got a small part of her heart. Cam has always felt that she was too damaged to love, but with age comes wisdom and she is fighting to find a way to love again.

When creating Camryn, I wanted someone strong, who didn’t use what happened to her as an excuse, but rather as something to motivate her to make her life even better. Camryn is someone who is always trying to do what is right, without compromising her integrity and family.

Camryn’s vices are she tends to overthink every aspect of her life instead of just living it. She is controlling, she likes wine a lot, and she can be known to down a large submarine sandwich from Jersey Mike’s in one sitting.

Camryn’s virtues are that her children come first, she loves whole-heartily, she is organized, she is kind and friendly, she is a loyal and true friend.
